Hi Guys,
I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro that is installed with Leopard, as I'm sure everyone knows! Before that I was running on an iBook G4 that ran Tiger and on that portable I used MacJanitor to keep my Mac clean... Is there a similar product like that for Leopard that is FREE? MacJanitor was used to clean scripts and do other maintenance things... Thank you so much for the help!!!

Those types of utilities are not required in Leopard. In previous versions of Mac OS X, the underlying system utilities would fail to run if the systems were turned off or in sleep mode when they were scheduled to run. That problem has, according to most sources, been fixed in Leopard. With that said, the most popular utility of the type you're inquiring about is the trial software utility Cocktail. I've never needed it.

Depends what you mean by "clean".
I have a MacBook Air at work with the 64GB SSD so space is a bit of a premium. I downloaded CleanMyMac and it tidied up a lot of things. Stripped out the PPC code from executables, removed unneeded languages, and got rid of a few caches amongst other things.
All in all I was pretty happy with the demo so paid for the full version. Definitely recommend it but just make sure you don't run it while Entourage is running. It stops it working and you need to restart Entourage. (Not a biggie but annoying)

Removing PPC code can and will break things.
Caches will be re-generated.
Unneeded languages: okay.
